Using Derby *10.5*, and running in *network server mode*, we have

the locks entries persisted in the lock_table the next morning, and
caused the system to function improperly. We are using the default
values for lock and deadlock timeouts. Our application is using JPA
and Optimistic Locking. What would cause the locks to NOT be cleared
and/or released (even after a lengthy timeout period)?
Hi Mark,
Likely there are transactions that have not been committed or rolled
back that are holding these locks.
The lock timeout is a setting that will determine how long a new
transaction will wait for existing locks to be released before the new
transaction times out itself. It does not affect how long the original
transaction will hold the locks which will be until the transaction is
committed or rolled back.
One thing to do is to make sure that all transactions are committed and
rolled back, especially in exception
circumstances. A frequent case I have seen when transactions and
connections are left open is that transactions are not rolled back
before attempting to close a connection. Then the exception that is
thrown on close is caught and ignored. A global approach to this
particular issue might be to replace Connection.close() calls with a
method that always rolls back before closing the connection.
